¸é±ð²â°ìÂá²¹±¹Ã­°ì, Iceland

Not only is it just minutes from the bars, cafés, restaurants, shops, museums, and art galleries that line Laugavegur and Skolavordustigur streets, but it’s also an ideal base for exploring the Golden Circle route’s numerous attractions.

Available in different sizes and layouts, all of the apartments have stylish Icelandic decor with blue, white and gray hues, soft furnishings using local fabrics, and comfortable living spaces.
